【浸大改校規】聯署反對《辱校罪》草案

【浸大改校規】聯署反對《辱校罪》草案

香港浸會大學斥資超過港幣一百萬圓、動員多名副校長、法律顧問炮製《辱校罪》草案,一經「審視紀律程序小組」提交教務議會通過,就會正式執行。

條例草案通過之後,任何同學非議校政、向外人講校方不是──例如投稿HKBU Secrets 、受訪問,均可被控「辱校罪」;三個校方紀律委員一旦「覺得」、「認為」或「信納」你有「或然率( probabilities )」損害浸大校譽( reputational damage to the University ),即有權奉旨停你學、踢你出校。 即使最後沒有定罪,審訊期間同學亦要擔驚受怕,最後只會演變成自我審查,扼殺言論空間。

因此,我們發起網上聯署,聯合同學、校友、學生組織等要求浸會大學撤回《辱校罪》草案,停止以言入罪、紅色恐怖,還浸大言論自由嘅校園環境。

浸大社關發起,浸大山神支援。

/《草案》摘要:

一.紀律罪行定為四類:「導致他人實質或潛在痛苦」、「對他人財產造成損失」、「影響大學運作安全(包括有損校譽罪)」及「阻礙大學成員工作學習」,定義廣闊,學生更易被入罪。

"In general terms, disciplinary offences are likely to fall into one of the categories below
Actions which cause actual or potential distress or harm to others
Actions which cause actual or potential damage to property of others
Actions which disrupt the normal operations, and/or safe use of, the University including where applicable, reputational damage to the University
Actions which impede or interfere with the pursuance of work/ study of University members, or impact on normal operations of the University." (4.1)

二.新增「反社會行為造成他人痛苦,或名譽受損,或傷害大學社群關係」,屬「導致他人實質或潛在痛苦」、「對他人財產造成損失」及「影響大學運作安全(包括有損校譽罪)」。

"Anti-social behaviour which causes distress to others and/or reputational harm and/or damage to the University’s relationship with the community" (4.1.3)

三.新增「很可能令大學聲譽受損,或影響大學正常運作的行為」,屬「影響大學運作安全(包括有損校譽罪)」及「阻礙大學成員工作學習」。

"Actions which are likely to bring the University into disrepute and/or cause interference to the normal operations of the University" (4.1.3)

四.新增紀律程序:當學生被檢控或刑事定罪,大學紀律程序可包括評估該生對師生之威脅,包括評估其損害校譽的實質衝擊,尤其是影響或干預大學正常運作,或影響大學與關鍵個人、機構及利益持份者的關係時。

"Where a charge or criminal conviction has been made, the University disciplinary proceedings may include an assessment of the risk posed to staff or students. It may also include assessment of the material impact caused by reputational damage to the University, particularly when this impedes or interferes with the normal operations of the University, or when it affects important relationships between the University and key individuals, agencies and stakeholders. If disciplinary action is taken, the penalty imposed by the court shall be taken into account when determining any further penalty." (5.5.2)

五. 新增罪行「言語虐待或恐嚇」("Verbal abuse or intimidation"),屬「導致他人實質或潛在痛苦罪」 (4.1.1)

六.新增罪行「以超量和無法容許水平的噪音造成他人痛苦」
(”Causing distress to others through excessive and unacceptable levels of noise in University residence on campus or in the nearby community”)(4.1.1)

七.新增罪行「多次或重覆輕微犯罪」("Multiple or repeated minor offences")屬各項罪名 (4.1.1 and 4.1.2)

八.強調香港法律的「證據規則」不適用於大學,證明有罪只需商榷其可能性。
"The rules of evidence in Hong Kong law do not apply; the standard of proof required is the balance of probabilities" (Scope- general)

九.有關暫時停學令("Temporary Suspension")的程序條文隻字不改。"/
